They make beautiful pillows, especailly with a bit of trim. Also make great handbags since they are stiff enough that you don't need to use interfacing. I made a bunch of pincushions for friends with some of the more girlie prints.

They make great throw pillows.

Suggestions on how we can use them?

A friend gave me some and I used them for fussy cuts for a churn dash pattern. Came out great!

Thanks for all the good ideas.

When you make dog blankets, is there any special size or regulations when giving them to a shelter? We don't have one here (small town) so we would have to find one in an area town. I think the kids would like to make things for dogs.

Also, the bags and totes are popular with them, so that's a good idea.

Check with the closest shelter and see what sizes they need...at our shelter, they use different sizes depending upon the size of the cage/box, etc. they have them in....
